UPDATE on the Tissue Paper

 

I found one I like -

 

Nice and strong - I have really long fingernails and I didn't manage to poke a hole in one single sheet today, so I'm sold.

 

Nice, crisp and clean, pure white, but pliable and looks good enough for giftwrap.

 

Not too transparent

 

was acid free, I just bought it in a package of 60 sheets from here

 

The only downside is it was folded for postage, but then so is that in the packets.

Oh, and I have discovered something far more evil than packaging peanuts (Though thanks to Trusty, I will never be able to look at those in the same way again LOL) and makes shredded newspaper desireable - Shredded cellophane!

 

It's horrible and sticks and clings and *blerk*

 

................

 

But - discovered a nice shiny white, reasonably strong butchers paper, and discovered that scrunched up it is perfect for packaging and cuts down on my need for bubblewrap - so now I am on a quest to find out where to get that from.

Sorry, I have not got any further with my tissue paper quest but if I do acquire any of the products I mentioned previously I will let you know. I want to use up the materials I have on hand first. Shouldn't take too long though. For some reason when I think of shredded newspaper I think of mouse and rabbit droppings.
